Sinti-Manouche (also known as Sintenghero Tschib(en), Sintitikes or Romanes /ˈrɒmənɪs/[3]) is the variety of Romani spoken by the Sinti people in Germany, France, Austria, some parts of northern Italy and other adjacent regions. It is characterized by significant German influence and is not mutually intelligible with other forms of Romani.[4] There are about 30,000 speakers in Serbia and total speakers of the language is about 320,000.[5] The language is written in Latin script and is included in Indo-European, Indo-Aryan and Indo-Iranian language groups.[5]
